HS-6 · Subheading
290392
Halogenated derivatives of aromatic hydrocarbons; hexachlorobenzene (ISO) and DDT (ISO) (clofenotane (INN), and 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane)
Heading 2903 — Halogenated derivatives of hydrocarbons
Chapter 29: Organic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 290392 when importing or exporting halogenated derivatives of aromatic hydrocarbons, specifically hexachlorobenzene and DDT. For example, if you're shipping a batch of DDT for agricultural use, this is the correct code.
This code falls under the broader category of 2903, which includes various halogenated derivatives of hydrocarbons. In contrast, HS-6 290391 covers different halogenated compounds that may not include these specific substances.
The 290392 line specifically addresses hexachlorobenzene and DDT, both of which are used in pest control and industrial applications. These substances are characterized by their chlorine content and aromatic structure, which distinguishes them from other halogenated chemicals.
When classifying your products, be aware that DDT is often subject to strict regulations due to its environmental impact, unlike some other halogenated compounds in this heading. Always check for compliance with local laws when dealing with these chemicals.
